Do yourself a favor and don't. Just don't. This book was the butt of every joke in my public speaking class last semester.

~If you value ambiguity, don't want to know how to really speak in public, and truly abhor logical thought progressions, look no further! This is the volume for you!!!~

I didn’t like this textbook very much. It was frankly boring, and contained some false data that wouldn’t make you skilled in public speaking. I used it in my public speaking class, but it did not make me succeed. I did well in my public speaking class because of the professor’s lectures, outside research, and practice. Certainly not this textbook.
